maintain  their  proportion  of  the  same  in  accordance  with  the 
statutes  and  laws  of  the  State  of  Iowa,  the  north  approach  of 
which  shall  commence  at  the  south  line  of  Mulberry  street,  from 
which  line  the  apj^roach  shall  rise  at  a  uniform  grade  so  as  to

Railway  Company  with  a  clearance  of  not  less  than  twenty-two 
(22)  feet;  thence  the  viaduct  proper  shall  extend  south  over  all 
the  tracks  of  the  said  steam  railways  with  a  clearance  over  said 
tracks  of  not  less  than  that  above  specified,  to  and  over  the  south 
track  of  the  Chicago,  Burlington  and  Quincy  Railroad  Com- 
pany, and  from  thence  shall  descend  on  a  uniform  grade  so  as  to 
meet  the  present  level  of  Seventh  street  at  a  place  about  four

severally  only  for  its  said  proportion  of  said  cost,  and  not 
jointl,y.  If  either  of  said  steam  railways  shall  neglect  or  refuse 
to  pay  its  agreed  proportion  of  the  cost  of  said  construction,  the 
said  city  shall  have  the  right  to  pay  such  proportion  as  such 
steam  railway  so  in  default  has  neglected  or  refused  to  pay,  and

default,  or  to  ]nirsue  any  other  remedy  afforded  by  the  laws  of 
the  State  of  Iowa.

hereafter  constructed  of  the  said  steam  railways,  from  and  after 
the  completion  of  said  viaduct,  shall  be  discontinued  and  closed 
against  public  travel  by  pedestrians,  vehicles  and  other  convey- 
ances. The  legal  title  to  said  portion  of  said  Seventh  street  so

maintenance  thereof,  to  require  any  street  or  interurban  railway 
company  or  companies,  before  using  said  viaduct,  to  pay  said 
steam  railways  an  amount  equal  to  the  actual  increased  cost  of

amount  of  or  any  part  of  the  increased  cost  of  original  construc-

cost  of  the  construction  of  said  viaduct  under  any  circumstances 
or  conditions  whatsoever.

said  viaduct,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  said  steam  railways  to

viaduct  as  aforesaid.  In  the  event  that  two  appraisers  or  arbi- 
trators so  appointed  by  said  parties  shall  fail  to  agree,  then  the 
said  two  appraisers  shall  appoint  a  third,  and  the  finding  of  the 
amount  by  the  majority  of  said  appraisers  so  appointed  shall  fix 
the  said  increased  cost  of  construction,  which  shall  be  accepted 
as  final.  The  cost  of  such  appraisement  shall  be  paid  upon  such 
terms  and  in  such  manner  as  may  be  agreed  upon  between  the

viaduct  under  this  or  former  ordinances,  are,  by  the  acceptance 
of  this  ordinance,  hereby  withdrawn  and  dismissed,  and  in  con-

nance declared,  is  hereby  required  to  be  in  accordance  with  plans 
and  specifications  approved  by  the  City  Council  of  the  City  of 
Des  Moines. 

Sec.  3. — The  term  "city"  hereinafter  used  shall  be  held  to

Sec.  4. — The  terms  and  conditions  upon  which  said  viaduct 
is  to  be  built  are  as  follows : 

First. — The  steam  railways  accepting  the  terms  of  this  ordi-

on  West  Seventh  street,  in  a  workmanlike  manner,  and  hereafter 


226  OKDIXAXCES. 

maintain  their  proportion  of  the  same  in  accordance  with  the 
etatutoa  and  laws  of  the  State  of  Iowa,  the  north  approach  of 
which  shall  commence  at  the  south  line  of  Mulberry  street,  from 
which  line  the  approach  shall  rise  at  a  uniform  grade  so  as  k> 
pass  over  the  present  first  north  track  of  the  Des  Moines  Union 
Railway  Company  Avith  a  clearance  of  not  less  than  twenty-two 
(22)  feet;  thence  the  viaduct  proper  shall  extend  south  over  all 
the  tracks  of  the  said  steam  railways  with  a  clearance  over  said 
tracks  of  not  less  than  that  above  specified,  to  and  over  the  south 
track  of  the  Chicago,  Burlington  and  Quincy  Railroad  Com- 
pany, and  from  thence  shall  descend  on  a  uniform  grade  so  as  to 
meet  the  preselit  level  of  Seventh  street  at  a  place  about  four 
hundred  (400)  feet  south  of  the  south  line  of  Elm  street.  The 
length  of  the  viaduct  proj^er  shall  be  about  ten  hundred  and  ten 
(1010)  feet,  and  the  total  length  of  botJi  approaches  shall  not 
exceed  eight  hundred  (800)  feet.  The  viaduct  shall  be  built  of

now  in  common  use  by  interurban  railway  companies,  and  shall 
be  of  such  width  and  kind  as  shall  be  approved  by  the  city ;  pro- 
vided, that  the  city  shall  not  re<}uire  a  structure  of  such  kind 
which  will  interfere  with  the  use  of  existing  tracks  of  the  said 
steam  railway  companies  across  said  Seventh  street. 

It  is  contemplated  that  the  viaduct  shall  cost  approximately 
$185,000.  Should  plans  and  specifications  be  adopted  and  ap- 
proved by  the  city,  which  shall  increase  the  said  cost  beyond  the 
amount  above  stated,  then  the  said  steam  railways  are  to  pay 
their  respective  proportions  of  said  increased  cost  in  the  same 
manner  as  hereinbefore  stated,  and  according  to  the  same  division 
as  hereinafter  specified.  It  is  understood  that  insofar  as  prac- 
ticable, said  viaduct  shall  be  built  on  such  plans  as  to  permit  the 
said  steam  railways  to  build  additional  tracks  across  Seventh

and  things  set  forth  in  this  ordinance.  The  said  city  shall  take 
necessary  steps  to  appraise,  assess  and  determine  the  damages, 
if  any,  which  may  be  caused  to  the  property  of  third  persons 
abutting  that  portion  of  the  street  upon  which  the  viaduct  is 


CITY  OF  DES  MOINES.  227

steam  railways  free  and  harmless  from  such  damage,  if  any. 

Third. — The  proporion  of  the  cost  of  the  viaduct  to  be  bomo 
by  each  of  the  steam  railways  shall  be  as  follows : 

The  Chicago,  Kock  Island  and  Pacific  Railway  Company, 
31.6  per  cent.

cent. 

The  Chicago,  Burlington  and  Quincy  Railroad  Company, 
24.5  per  cent. 

The  Des  Moines  Union  Railway  Company,  22.8  per  cent. 

Each  of  the  said  steam  railways  shall  be  liable  and  responsible 
severally  only  for  its  said  proportion  of  said  cost,  and  not  joint- 
ly. If  either  of  said  steam  railways  shall  neglect  or  refuse  to 
pay  its  agreed  proportion  of  the  cost  of  said  construction,  the 
said  city  shall  have  the  right  to  pay  such  proportion  as  such 
steam  railway  so  in  default  has  neglected  or  refused  to  pay,  and 
recover  the  amount  so  expended  from  said  steam  railway  so  in 
default,  or  to  pursue  any  other  remedy  afforded  by  the  laws  of 
the  State  of  Iowa.

on  the  part  of  the  steam  railways,  all  that  portion  of  Seventh

hereafter  constructed  of  the  said  steam  railways,  from  and  after 
the  completion  of  said  viaduct,  shall  be  discontinued  and  closed 
against  public  travel  by  i>edestrians,  vehicles  and  other  convey- 
ances. The  legal  title  to  said  portion  of  said  Seventh  street  so

ject to  the  rights  herein  granted  to  said  steam  railways,  shall  re- 
main fixed  and  vested  in  the  City  of  Des  Moines. 

Fifth. — The  work  upon  said  viaduct  shall  be  commenced  by 
the  said  steam  railways  within  thirty  (30)  days  from  and  after 
notice  in  writing  shall  have  been  given  by  the  said  city  to  the 
said  steam  railway  companies,  and  shall  thereafter  be  prosecuted 
to  completion  with  reasonable  diligence.

menced until  provisions  shall  have  been  made  by  the  said  city

that  may  hereafter  be  conferred  upon  it  relative  to  the  absolute 
control  of  said  viaduct,  or  of  the  compensation  that  may  be  re-

Clerk  of  the  said  city.  In  the  event  the  street  or  interurban  rail-
